Applied July 16. Still pending review. I have traveled to the US four times since I applied which I thought I did "early" to cover those four fall/winter trips. Unbelievably frustrating, especially knowing that I have no power to push, complain, demand a refund for poor service, etc.

Applied July 7, 2019 (somehow with current wait times I feel application year is worth mentioning)
Conditional on January 30, 2020
Interviewed and approved on February 9, 2020
Card received Today, February 12 - unbelievably fast considering overall wait times.

In the US.
Applied September 9, 2019.
Still waiting on conditional approval.
When I spoke to someone at the Blaine, WA office about a month ago, they estimated an 8-month wait time. Currently at 158 days, or just over 5 months.
I'll be surprised if I'm approved before May 2020.

Applied for a Nexus pass for myself (Canadian born), my daughter (Canadian born), and my wife (Canadian for the last 22 years, but born in Hong Kong) on Nov 10, 2019.
My and my daughter's applications, conditionally approved Dec 31, 2019.
My wife's... still pending review.
I'm assuming there must be more than one grouping of applications based on birth place since we literally applied within 30 minutes of each other and we have almost identical travel in the past 15 years.
